Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2022
Yes M301. They've recently added a block of traffic for Battle Creek to the head end of this train which is why the makeup looks a little different. Usually some lumber and then autoracks. The back half of the train should resemble the M301 of yore, tank cars and grain hoppers for Winnipeg, MB.Dan Cluley wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 10:42 pmWestbound with CN 3135 & 3033 through East Lansing at 22:42

Interestingly, the traffic has shifted on M397 and M399 slightly. I'll delve into that more tomorrow.

CN 8016 GF 643d & CN 2587 EF-644c. I recorded this train further up the Holly at Hatchery Rd at 13:55. The 480p version is available on my Rumble page. Higher def formats are still being encoded by the site...David Collins wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 1:48 pmBy MAL exactly 10 minutes later.

NB Train 515 with 5450 flying by MP 22.5 on its way back to Pontiac Yard at 4:23 pm like a horse headed back to the barn on a Friday night.

A SB with containers followed by autoracks and two CN's is SB passing MP 22.5 at 5:05 pm. 116? 508? Whatever.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2022
Q116 - it came into BC with CN 8927/CN 8809/CN 8868/CN 8960/CN 5436. They dropped units 3-5 in BC and ran by your house with CN 8927/CN 8809. ZIM containers on this train so my conspiracy theory from the other day doesn’t pan out.Manistique wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 5:06 pmA SB with containers followed by autoracks and two CN's is SB passing MP 22.5 at 5:05 pm. 116? 508?

Early this morning we had a unit ethanol train, U708, depart Battle Creek at 05:07 AM.
CN 2303/CN 5642/CN 8812 for power.
Usually the ethanol travels in blocks on M394, originating off of the ex-IC in Iowa. Destination was Preston, Ontario

Re: CN Train Location Updates - October 2022
If I wait a bit longer tonight I may answer my own question, but is 507 and/or 508 running still now that 116 seems to become a regular train lately?LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Fri Oct 14, 2022 5:47 pmQ116 - it came into BC with CN 8927/CN 8809/CN 8868/CN 8960/CN 5436.

What I presume was 507 just went by 22.5 on the Holly at 8:01 pm though it was too dark to see if there were containers on it. It had a 5400 as the lead of two engines.

SB Train 515 is passing MP 22.5 at restricted speed with 5450 at 8:17 am. Maybe flasher problem at Opdyke Road? Unusual Saturday 515.

L533 picked up cars for Chrysler in Mount Clemens at East Yard today, relieving L515 of that duty. 533 currently working in MC.
